Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu flagged-off a passenger train for Kerala, along with 45-freight terminals envisaged under 'Mission Hundred' an objective as per the 2016-17 Budget. "Kerala is a state with high population density with not much urban-rural divide, so demand for public transport is high. Providing intercity transport for Kerala is important," said a statement citing the minister, who inaugurated these services through video-conferencing.
